He got to be 85, but here's the report: Forrest Gregg, the great lineman for the mighty Green Bay Packers of the 1960s whom Vince Lombardi called the “best player I ever coached,” has died. He was 85.
He played for SMU back there in the early 1950's, was sure good. SMU had several good East Texas players, Gregg from Sulphur Springs, Don Meredith from Mount Vernon. After coaching several NFL teams, he agreed to coach SMU after their death penalty, and went 3-19 from 1988-91. I didn't know him, but reportedly, he was a good guy.
